Swamp'n'Glade

This is how it looks in South Florida on a sunny day.

And this in East Lower Austria on a more cloudy day.

Reise nach Jerusalem

It's off to Israel today and bye to tinytalk for a tenday. We'll see each other in April.

Toni, Monika und ich haben einen Sessel ergattert und dahin sind wir.

Carver Mead not quite believing in Unschärfe
or at least some interpretations of Heisenberg's very important theorem.

It may have gone under in my Brian Brain comment last week but that link and text deserve better, because it's funny, radical and understandable even for the layman: Mead makes some pretty interesting points about the sorry state of obscurantism that typifies our current interpretation of quantum mechanics. Replace quantum mechanics with unsichtbare Weltanschauungsgrundlagen and you will know that what Carver and other scientist, some of which get mentioned in the interview, are pretty radical guys. The times keep on changing.

Brian "Laputan" Foote, by way of name coincidence has redetected a real gem here: An Interview the American Spectator did with Carver Mead in 2002. AS obviously does not have the interview online anymore and is to busy to serve quite often anyway, so it looks like Wayne Stewart has reconstructed it for his Laputan Logic site. Even if you do not quite take what all propositions of Mr. Mead for granted it can serve as a very fine point to rethink one or the other weltbild-dogma introduced in the last century. It can also be found on freespace.virgin.net.

Here's yet another interview with Mr. Mead, more focused on the world computing technolgies.
TR: Is it the inherent difficulty of adapting digital technologies to our mostly analog human world?
MEAD: Digital abstraction is a wonderful thing. It substitutes a very simple set of logic operations and, or, and notfor an infinite set of physical things. Working in analog is much harder, because there are essentially countless ways for the thing to go wrong. You're working with the physics itself, rather than with some very small set of circuits that have been crafted to show digital behavior.

I really really like to recommend reading both intervies. Many things get put into a slightly more real perspective by this old man (Mead born 34). plink, 2 comments    praise or blame!

People get ready
There's a train a-comin'
You don't need no baggage,
you just get on board

All you need is faith
to hear the diesels hummin'
Don't need no ticket,
you just thank the Lord

People get ready
Train to Jordan
Picking up passengers
from coast to coast

Faith is key
Open the doors and board them
There's hope for all
among the love the most

There ain't no room
for the hopeless sinner
Who would hurt all mankind
just to save his own soul

Have pity on those
whose choices grow thinner
There ain't no hiding place
from the Kingdom's throne

Curtis, you consoled my crying heart lots more than only once.

Und: 2005 endete mit 3 guten Filmen in einer Woche. Definitely recommended. plink, nix    praise or blame!
